Question: Are there any books out there that actually *do* that?

I mean, what little I know about digital logic is gleaned from 
children's books and Wikipedia. I've never seen a *book* that actually 
*explains* this stuff. (Unless it's an electronics book, in which case 
it talks about impedance and capacitance and other such irrelevant details.)

Heh, damn... I didn't think anybody actually read that stuff...
